Gay Health 3- The Fear of Colonoscopies
A discussion about the importance of screening for colorectal cancer. If you are approaching age 50, it is imperative you have this important procedure. I had been petrified beyond belief about having a colonoscopy due to a previous test I had done more than 20 years ago. I discuss the early procedure as well as my personal experience with having a colonoscopy. I take you step-by-step through what happened, and I think if you have fear of this test (like so many do), please, please listen to this episode. It literally could save your life. Thank you!

Expanding Horizons
Age is just a number, right? So maybe there are some dreams that we used to have when we were 'younger' that we kind of pushed back for someday in the future, or maybe we just gave up on those dreams altogether. But do we have to? We aren't dead (or at least in most cases, LOL), so......can we still make those dreams come true? I'm telling you about one of mine, how I'm going to do it, and I ask YOU to conjure up those forgotten dreams of your own. Maybe it isn't too late for any of us!
